- YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.

- THANK YOU.

- YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

THANKS, SANDY.

THIS IS THE BACKSTREET BOYS.

YOU WERE SINGING WITH YOUR LOCAL

SINGING TEACHER:

AND SHE SAID,

"I'VE GOT THIS GREAT KID.

WE NEED TO GET HIM DANCING

'CAUSE HE'S GOT A GREAT VOICE."

AND I SAID,

"OKAY, BRING HIM OVER."

AND I SAID,

"NICK, RIGHT LEG."

THE LEFT LEG,

I PUT THE LEFT LEG OUT.

OKAY, NICK, LEFT LEG,

AND THEN HE DID THE RIGHT LEG.

HE STILL DOES:

THE SAME THING.

COME ON IN:

AND SAY HI.

THEY'RE GONNA GO CRAZY.

- WE'RE GOING IN.

- LET'S DO IT.

COME ON IN.

I'VE BEEN DANCING SINCE

I WAS, LIKE, FOUR YEARS OLD,

- SO I--

- REALLY?

- BALLET FOR EIGHT YEARS.

- GOOD.

- JAZZ, TAP.

- WE COULDN'T GET HIM IN BALLET.

WE TRIED.

- YOU DID BALLET?

- EIGHT YEARS OF BALLET.

OKAY, IT WAS THE WEIRDEST THING

I HAD TIGHTS AND EVERYTHING.

I WAS THE ONLY BOY

IN MY BALLET CLASS.

SO MY MOM ENDED UP

PUTTING ME INTO TAP

AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF BALLE 'CAUSE I WAS LIKE,

"I FEEL A LITTLE WEIRD

IN TIGHTS.

I'M A LITTLE BOY

AND I'M SKINNY.

HEY, IT TAKES A MAN

TO DO IT.

THIS IS OUR SENIOR

DANCE COMPANY.

HI.

YOU WANT TO BACK UP A LITTLE BI SO THEY CAN SEE YOU?

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT NOW

I MIGHT ACTUALLY

COME ON, DO IT!

IF I RIP MY PANTS,

I'M BLAMING YOU.

COME ON.

OH.

OH!

IN 20 YEARS!

- THAT'S INTERESTING.

- YOU GUYS KNOW THE

"BACKSTREET'S BACK" DANCE?

ANYBODY KNOW THAT?

- AH, SEE, I KNEW

THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

- TOO YOUNG.

THEY WEREN'T BORN YET.

THEY GOT IT ALREADY.

YEAH.

GOOD JOB, BUDDY.

AND LET ME TALK!

I SWEAR TO GOD, DON'T F***ING

TALK TO ME THAT WAY.

I'LL TALK TO YOU

HOWEVER I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

YOU DON'T GET RESPEC OUT OF ME THAT WAY.

DON'T BE A F***ING DICK

LIKE EVERYONE KNOWS YOU ARE.

- YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.

- YOU UNDERSTAND

WHAT I'M SAYING?

DON'T BE A F***ING DICK.

DON'T BE A DICK!

TRUST ME, YOU DON'T WANT I FROM ME, BABY.

- TRUST ME.

- LIKE I'M SHAKING.

I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU

ANYMORE.

DUDE, WHAT--

YOU WERE AFRAID OF ME?

NO, I'M-- HE KNOWS WHA I'M TALKING ABOUT, DUDE.

WHAT ABOUT F***ING

VOCALS ON SONGS?

ARE WE GONNA TALK

ABOUT THAT?

ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOU THE FACT THA YOU DON'T NECESSARILY

SOUND AS GOOD AS YOU USED TO?

- THE DEMO VOICE--

- ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT?

ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT?

AND WE'LL TALK ABOU WHEN WE GET IN THE STUDIO

AND PRODUCERS COME TO US

AND TELL US:

THAT THEY GOT PROBLEMS

BECAUSE OF YOUR F***ING VOICE.

YEAH, 'CAUSE I CAN'T DO

YOUR JOB ANYMORE.

OH, NO, NO, NO, NO!

THIS IS THE TRUTH.

HOW ABOUT SPEAKING

FROM A PLACE OF LOVE

AND NOT A PLACE OF ANGER?

I'M NOT ANGRY.

I'M F***ING BEING REAL.

BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE

WANTS TO SUGARCOAT IT.

EVERYONE WANTS:

TO SUGARCOAT IT.

LET'S F***ING BRING IT OU IN THE OPEN.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

WHEN PRODUCERS COME UP TO ME--

STOP!

WHEN PRODUCERS COME UP TO US

AND ARE SAYING,

"WHAT'S WRONG

WITH BRIAN'S VOICE?

WHAT'S HAPPENING

WITH HIS VOICE?"

AND THEN YOU WANT TO

SING ON THE RECORDS, DAWG,

AND YOU SOUND GREA ON RECORDS,

'CAUSE YOU CAN DO

A F***ING LITTLE BIT OF EDITING,

BUT WHEN GOT TO GO ON STAGE

AND SING THAT SHI AND WE GOT TO GO

DO WORLD TOUR,

I MEAN, THIS IS THE KIND--

THIS IS ALL I'M TRYING TO SAY.

BUT YOU TAKE THE GOOD

AND THE BAD, DAWG.

- NO, BECAUSE--

- YOU TAKE THE GOOD

AND THE BAD.

- WE'RE A GROUP.

- CAN YOU SIT DOWN

FOR A SEC, NICK?

- NO, I DON'T WANT TO SIT DOWN.

- WELL, HERE'S WHAT I THINK.

I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO REALLY

TALK ABOUT WHAT THE F***

- IS REALLY GOING ON!

- BUT TIME OUT.

SIT DOWN FOR A SECOND...

- NO!

- AND SHOW SOME

F***ING RESPECT.

HOW ABOUT RESPECT ME

AND LET ME STAND UP?

I RESPECT YOU.

STAND UP THEN.

YOU'RE GETTING TWO

DIFFERENT ARGUMENTS HERE.

YOU'VE BUSTED YOUR ASS.

I APPRECIATE IT.

WE ALL APPRECIATE IT.

SOMEHOW IT GOT BLOWN UP

INTO AN ARGUMEN BETWEEN YOU AND BRIAN

AND A COMPETITION

OVER LEAD VOCALS.

AND THERE'S A LO OF BAGGAGE HERE

FROM THE F***ING PAS 20 YEARS

THAT IS COMING OUT NOW,

AND, YEAH,

WE NEED TO TALK:

ABOUT BRIAN'S VOCAL ISSUES.

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

WE NEED TO FIND A WAY

TO MAKE IT WORK.

- AND THAT'S WHA WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

- ALL I'M SAYING--

THEY LOOK NICE:

WITH THOSE JACKETS ON.

GREAT.

I WANT TO BE:

AS SUPPORTIVE AS I CAN.

I MEAN, NOT ONLY ARE

WE GROUP MEMBERS

AND BUSINESS PARTNERS,

BUT WE'RE FAMILY.

AND, UH....

SO I HAVE YOUR BACK

AND I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BACK

AND I WANT TO BE SUPPORTIVE.

I THINK PERSONALLY,

I'M A LITTLE FRUSTRATED.

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE UM,

I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE AT.

WHAT-- WHAT HAS HAPPENED

LATELY WITH YOUR THERAPY,

AND I KNOW YOU'RE LIVING IT,

BUT NOT A DAY GOES BY

THAT I DON'T THINK ABOUT YOU.

AND HERE'S MY THING.

YOU KNOW, I THINK

WE SHOULD PUT THE BRAKES ON.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO

STOP THE TRAIN.

THIS IS THE THING.

THIS IS A HUGE YEAR FOR US.

AND I HAVE TO BE IN

TIP-TOP SHAPE SOMEHOW, SOME WAY.

THE FRUSTRATING PART IS,

IS I'M THE ONE

THAT HAS TO LIVE WITH IT,

AND I'M THE ONE

THAT HAS TO HEAR

IT EACH AND EVERY DAY.

YOU GUYS, I COULD TALK TO YOU

TILL I'M BLUE IN THE FACE,

AND YOU'LL NEVER

UNDERSTAND IT.

I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO

UNDERSTAND IT.

WE'RE NOT TRYING

TO DO AN INTERVENTION ON YOU.

BUT IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU--

LIKE, IN LIKE A PERSON

WHO'S GOING INTO REHAB

WHERE YOU ALMOST NEED

TO REALLY LIKE POSSIBLY HAVE--

TAKE THIS REALLY SERIOUS

AND HAVE SOMEBODY WORKING

WITH YOU, LIKE, EVERY DAY

LET'S STOP PERFORMING LIVE

UNTIL SOME OF THIS SH*T,

WE GET IT WORKED OUT.

LET'S LET YOU DO YOUR THERAPY.

LET'S LET YOU EXPERIMEN WITH WHATEVER THE DOCTORS SAY.

TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,

LET'S FACE IT.

IT'S THE PRESSURE

THAT I PUT ON MYSELF

OF WHAT I WAS, WHAT I AM,

AND WHAT I'M GONNA BE.

BECAUSE THE WAIT FOR ME

AT THE BEGINNING

WAS I HAD TO FIX I FOR YOU AND FOR YOU

AND FOR YOU AND FOR YOU

AND FOR YOU AND FOR YOU.

THEN I WOKE UP ONE DAY

AND I THOUGHT,

"DAMN, YOU KNOW I REALLY

NEED TO JUST FIX THIS FOR ME."

YEAH.

- BECAUSE YOU CAN' FIX ALCOHOL ABUSE FOR ME.

- RIGHT.

- IT'S FOR YOU.

I APOLOGIZE THAT IF

MY BAD PERFORMANCE

TAKES THE STOCK DOWN,

WHICH IS TRUE,

BUT I CAN ONLY DO WHAT I CAN DO

TO BE BEST FOR ME RIGHT NOW.

I HAVEN'T HEARD NICK

SAY ANYTHING.

I'VE HEARD EVERYBODY ELSE

TALK.

WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR

POINT OF VIEW:

ON FOR YOURSELF,

I COMPLETELY ACCEPT THAT,

AND I-- THAT IS-- THAT'S YOU

IT'S WHAT YOU GOT TO DO.

I THINK THAT THERE IS A 50/50

THING HERE, THOUGH, AS WELL.

I'VE GONE THROUGH THIS BEFORE

IN THIS GROUP, ALL RIGHT?

WHEN I WAS OVERWEIGHT,

WHEN I WAS DRINKING

AND DOING DRUGS,

WHEN I WAS BEING A MANIAC,

IT AFFECTED THE GROUP.

AND I GOT CONFRONTED

BY YOU GUYS.

EVERYBODY DOCKED

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

FOR NOT SHOWING:

UP ON TIME.

I HAD TO GET BETTER

FOR YOU.

A.J. DID, TOO.

- A.J. HAD TO AS WELL.
